RPG Maker is exactly what it sounds, a set of tools for creating your own roleplaying games. The creators of this program wanted to make an editor that would allow even those users who have no experience and knowledge in programming, game engines etc. to create their own scenarios. It is something of a step up from tabletop games where imagination was the driving force, and no hardware and no graphics could support it.

RPG Maker supports a rudimentary game engine whose visual part reminds a bit of classic 2D RPGs from Squaresoft. The core elements of it are the environment, the world of the game, and the simple roleplaying systems with stats and characteristic also much like tradi

There are no advanced graphics, but that is to be expected from an editor for amateur developers. Instead, it allows using videos, animation and images to vuisualise your stories. Apart from that, RPG Maker has all the tools you need to create and design the world you wish to build.

Various graphics packs are available with RPG Maker. They serve to provide abundant backgrounds and visuals for roleplaying scenarios you wish to create. There are also music packs for soundtrack, as well as sound and voice packs.
